Rescuers search for dozens still missing in Indonesia floods

Rescuers recovered more bodies after weekend flash floods and cold lava flow on Indonesia's Sumatra Island killed at least 50 people and left another 27 missing, the country's disaster agency said on Tuesday. Hours of heavy rain caused large volcanic rocks to roll down one of Indonesia's most active volcanos into six districts on Sumatra Island Saturday evening.

More than 3,300 people have also evacuated from the affected areas. Dozens of houses were swept away and rescuers said many of the victims were found in or around nearby rivers. Workers rushed to clear and repair a damaged bridge to ease access to the area. To aid the rescue effort, authorities said they would deploy weather modification technology that will start to work from Wednesday.
